Aldridge statement night, White epic performance , Black&White by 16! Nuggets made a wrong turn, in game 4 still looking for the corner. Jokic all in tears by the end of 3qt.
Beli 1-7. Mills will run out of talent by the end of 3qt. Gay coming out of SHADOW!

[Hoops Czar]

NBATV...the playoffs should be accessible to everyone.

It's only on NBATV because the NBA cares about ratings.

Don't contaminate the game thread with LM, take his sorry quitting ass to his thread. I still don't like the fact that such a thread still exists tbh.

Just puts more pressure on us to win, tbh.

Than TNT and ESPN too because I don't have cable.

Prove me wrong you bunch of mediocre pussies.

This ..

[Keepin' it real]

I always love a Game 5 in a 2-2 series. It's the next most exciting thing after a Game 7.

Anyone know what is Pop's record in this situation?

He's lost every time because he sucks, and he sucks because he doesn't listen to us. -- spurstalk

Playoffs +/-

9 Aldridge, Forbes
6 Poeltl
4 Walker, White
2 Cunningham, Pondexter
-2 Bertans
-5 Motiejunas
-6 Belinelli
-18 DeRozan
-20 Mills
-25 Gay

27 Beasley
12 Craig
9 Hernangomez, Jokic
7 Harris, Morris
5 Lyles
3 Vanderbilt
0 Millsap
-7 Murray
-8 Plumlee
-24 Barton

so all we need is Gay to turn it around. and bench Mills

[LittleCriminal]

Spurs by 10!! Book it!

[K...]

Me asleep by 10, book it

[Chomag]

Spurs blew their chances to take control of this series and I'm just not sure if there will be any left as Denver has all of the momentum now. Still ...Go Spurs Go!

[BillMc]

Just watched the Kurosawa movie High and Low. Simply awesome. Let's hope the Spurs end the night high, not low.

so no TV except NBA TV?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Mills/Marco/Rudy/Bertans=37% from the field 35% from three and 22 PPG in 4 games. Complete no shows through 4 games. They just need to muster up a decent game I’m not even asking for a good game because a decent game from them would be leaps and bounds better than they have been this series.

[Rummpd]

Game starts late for those on Eastern time but will hang in there if Spurs show some effort- not holding my breath

Seems it's simply a coaching problem and all those guys don't belong on the floor at the same time bc in 4 games it hasn't worked, at all.

Hate these late games, but at least it's not the 10:30 ET tip.

[DAF86]

It's only on NBATV because the NBA cares about ratings.

Then maybe they should try broadcasting their most compe ive first round series on national TV, tbh.

[boutons_deux]

Than TNT and ESPN too because I don't have cable.

I have SlingTV and it's not on there, either.

I really don't feel like sitting in a bar to watch.

If 3rd qtr looks compe ive, I might go.

You should try watching it from Eastern Europe;

[BillMc]

Let's win this!!!!!

[Raven]

the tension.... career defining game for Gay, DDR and Aldridge tbh

[GreekSpursfan]

Just puts more pressure on us to win, tbh.

I didn't want to think it that way but you're making me, .
